This mat is heavier than most, but it truly makes a difference. Manduka BlackMatPRO 71-Inch Yoga and Pilates Mat Simple and sweet, it's worth the money.
It goes great with QUICK FIX PILATES and QUICK FIX POWER YOGA! I'm so excited, that I just can't hide it, I'm about to lose control but I think I like it.
I just finished doing Shaun T's INSANITY Home workouts and this mat was AWESOME to do it on! I live in an apartment complex and it absorbed 90% of jumps this workout entails, then again it is PLYOMETRICS. I've washed it with mat cleaner several times, and tried a sea salt scrub. When I took this mat to class, I couldn't even hold warrior 1 without slipping all over the place. This mat is stable, it doesn't stretch or move beneath you while you are moving through vinyasa. Even without a Mysore rug, you would really have to drop a large amount of sweat for this mat to become too slippery to use.
This is such a solid piece of investment when it comes to practicing yoga at home. I can't even use my old flimsy yoga mats after being spoiled on this one.
If you do yoga on a regular basis this is the mat for you, there is no better. I bought this mat for my brother's birthday (he's currently doing the Insanity workout).
The Manduka Black Mat has met and exceeded all my expectations. I can now perform many more poses that were uncomfortable on my "beginners" mat.
I am looking forward to years of yoga. This size is the best, less weight, thick enough for the POWER 90 and P90X training. My hands don't slip and the mat doesn't move at all. Although pricey, it's well worth the investment if you have more than a passing interest in yoga. I do now have a 14-inch mat section which comes in handy for elbow stands in another part of my apartment. Wash it to air it out some more Firm, good cushioning, very happy so far. I washed it as suggested, with a brush and soap, and let it dry in the sun for 2 days. It still has the slippery film on it, despite all that and using it about 6 times.
Well worth the price. I bought this mat about a year and a half ago and love it! Bottom line, it's got some heft to it but it's not non-transportable, as has been reported in some reviews. I'm all of 5'1" and average weight and didn't find it prohibitively heavy. This mat is TOUGH. I am quite sure that even if I greatly intensify my yoga practice in the near future, this mat will still last a solid ten years or more.
